    Lets take look at the series of tweets that surrounded that tweet (All within a hour):

    Dan Tweets:

    Based on today's stats for the Mayweather-Ortiz ticket sales I think the Pacquiao-Marquez fight will sell more tickets next month.

    A Nevada commission source opined that Mayweather camp may have bought just enough unsold tix simply to nudge his gate ahead Pacquiao-Mosley

    Spoke to TR's @ToddDuboef and he said Pacquiao-Marquez has already sold more tickets than Mayweather-Ortiz and is already a virtual sellout.

    According to @ToddDuboef the Pacquiao-Marquez gate will exceed $10 million, probably more.
    So Floyd/Ortiz numbers come out, and it shows that he outsold Pac's (Top Rank) last 3 fights in live gate. Then all of sudden Dan has a source all while he is around or talking to Todd Duboef (Top Rank).

    What a Shock. smh.

      At this point in FMJs career, he is as much a promoter as he is a boxer. He is there to promote the fight and future FMJ fights. As long as the ticket is paid for it should count towards the gate, regardless of who or why it was purchased. This applies for all promotions, marketing, gifts, etc..

              Floyd himself must be mad that a Filipino and a Mexican can come into his hometown and sellout the same arena 2 months in advance while he can't even come close to selling it out, even with comps and promotional packages
              LOL at unheard of...

              Have you ever been to Vegas?

                If Robert Garcia and Bam-Bam Rios attended the fight, who would have bought the tickets for them?

                Do you think Floyd and 50Cent went to the ticket window and bought tickets for the Berto/Ortiz fight?

                It's almost staggering how little the Filipinos understand about the business of boxing.
                Poor Floyd buying his own tickets
